THE INDUSTRIAL WORLD.

Dispatches from Havana to the
New Orleans Times Democrat state that
the sugar crop of Cuba is expected to
amount to 100000 tons, and exceed tho
largest crop hitherto raised on the
island.
This years crop of broom corn is
estimated at 1000 tons, which is 1000
tons greater than last year. With 800
tons left over from last years crop, the
available supply is %, 800 tons, and we
shall be able to keep the house clean at
a moderate expense.
During the last few years some at
tempts have been made to cultivate cot
ton in Mexico, especially near Monte
rey. The experiments appear to have
been fairly successful, and stock
company has now been organized in
Monterey for the purpose of going into
the cultivation of cotton on large
scale. The incorporators expect to
make fortune in few years.
-Raisin-making is becoming an inn
portant industry in Southern Califor-
mia. As an instance one firm engaged
in that business in Los Angeles County
has already this fall shipped East
twenty-one carloads, or 81. 900 boxes Of
raisins. 1t is expected that the firm
will cure and ship fully 10000 boxes
of the delicious fruit before the season
closes.

Chill has gone into the business of
the manufacture of wooden cloth ex-
tensively, with the view of driving inn
ported cloth out of the market. Large
quantities of wool are being bought in
Peru and Bolivia, and new factories
are being erected. The Government
has given an order for $4,000 wooden
blankets, and $1,000 yards of wooden
cloth to be used in supplying the police
and the army.
MIR. Dodge, statistician to the De-
partment of Agriculture, in the Octo-
Der report on the condition of crops,
states that the area of Indian corn in
the United States has increased twenty
per cent. within the past six years, with
very little stimulus from expectation.
which has been but three per cent of
the quantity produced. Corn occupies
more than half the area in cereals, and
produc IS greater value than any other
crop. except grasses for hay and past

The estimate as made by the prin-
cipal Gamers of vegetables of the to-
mato pack of New Jersey shows that it
will exceed the heavy pack of 1884.
The number of cases packed is 600, 900;
each case contains two dozen cans; this
makes the pack of 1886 represented by
IL, 400. 900 cans. New Jersey pack has
generally been G lual to the combined
pack of Maryland, Virginia and Penn
sylvania. but this year it will be several
thousand cases short. owing to the fact
that the two former States have in
creased their facilities. Tomatoes were
unusually plentiful this year. N Z.

General Grants Horses.

General Grants DEATH" says Har-
rison, his servant, twas undoubtedly
caused by the Grant q Ward failure.
Ward treated him badly during the
whole connection, and remember that
afrer Grant hurt his hip he lent Ward
one of his horses. Ward sold it for
$4,000, and Crane never got a cent of
the money. General Grant kept six
horses in New York up to the time of
the failure. He had two fine teams for
Mrs. Grant and two good trotters for
himself. He liked to drive alone, and
nothing pleased him better than to pass
every thing on the road. He was very
prond of the Arabian steed which the
Sultan gave him. and both of these
horses are still alive. One is on the
farm of General Beale, and the other
is somewhere in the country. They
are both, think, still in the hands of
the Grant family. Carp, IN Cleveland

AN OCCULT SCIENCE.
Remarkable Experience of Man Who
Read His Fate From His Hands.


remarkable Experience Of Man Who
Read His Fate From His Hands.
For many years past have been
firm believer in the truth of palmistry,
but recently made an experiment
which has shaken my faith in the art
of hand-reading, in measure. For
the benefit of the public, l have kind
" consented to relate my experience so
that the matter may be satisfactorily
explained, if such a thing be possible.
There are few slight contradictions
in the result my experiment brought
out, which l am somehow unable to re-
concile. l will therefore give my
readers an opportunity to see what
they can do to restore the lost har
mony.
A few days ago, after attending
lecture upon hand-reading, by Prof.
A. Stork- Edward, the famous British
savant, at Pickering Hall, bought
book containing key to all the lines
of the hand, defining them and describ-
ing their significance for veal or for
woe. l then made an exact chart of
the lin . of my hand, showing the pre-
else location of each lump on my palm,
and all the other DISTINGUISHED charac-
teristics of its surface. Then | consult
ed the book with the following extraor-
binary result:
/ am nervous and sensitive.
l have phlegmatic temperament,
and my feelings can never be hurt.
/ shall live to be ninety-seven years
of age, six months and five days.
/ shall die before l am forty from
cholera infantum.
| shall marry rich woman when /
am twenty-one.
/ shall be the mother of twins
My husband will have red hair and
wooden arm. He will not be rich, but
my eldest daughter will marry rich
Italian nobleman.
shall never be parent, but my wife
will be widow with eight fatherless
children.
l shall never marry, but my second
cousin James will go out West and be
a Mormon.
have no second cousin james, but
if | persevere in living, may have one
before | die.
| am best fitted for the ministry or for
bank-burgling, and will make a great
success at either.
l am very talkative, but as l never
say any thing of Importance, l need not
worry about this symptom.
shall never be President of She
United States, but the Car has it in his
mind to make me Prince of Bulgaria.
| had better not accept the position,
though, because the trident on the
Mount of Jupiter warns me that
would suffer from cold feet, if ever
became Prince of Bulgaria.
| shall always be rich.
My will will be contested by lawyer
with one glass-eye, and sallow COM
plexion. need not worry about that,
though, for he will not win the case.
l shall die in a poor-house and in
testate.
l shall be drowned in the Arctic
Ocean while am travelling there to see
my daughter, who has eloped with an
Eskimo seal-hunter.
This is all.
Do you blame me, gentle reader, for
being suspicious?
Can you reconcile the contradictions
If you can, you have my best wishes.

TEMPLE OF SERPeNTS.
The Collection of Reptiles worshiped by
the Natives of Dahomey.

the Natives of Dahomey.
The small town of Werda. in the
kingdom of Dahomey, is celebrated for
its temple of serpents-a long building
in which the priests keep upward of a
thousand serpents of all sizes. which
they feed with birds and frogs brought
to them as offerings by the natives.
These serpents, many of them of
enormous size, may be seen hanging
from the beams of the ceiling. with their
heads hanging downward, and in all
sorts of strange contortions. The
priests make the small serpents go
through various evolutions by
lightly touching them with rod,
but they do not venture to touch
the larger ones, some of which are big
enough to enfold bullock in their
coils. 1t often happens that some of
these serpents make their way out of
the temple into the town, and the
priests have. the greatest difficulty in
toaxing them back. To kill a serpent
Intentionally is crime punishable with
death; and if European were to kill
one the authority of the king himself
would scarcely suffice to save his life
Any one killing serpent unintention-
ally must inform the priest of what has
occurred and go through the course of
publication which takes place once a
year.-Intertor.

Death OF AdclNido Nelson.

II had an engagement while in an eastern
city to visit the theatre with Miss Nelson,
who was not playing at tho time. l had
secured a private box, where she could sit
unobserved and enjoy the pleasure, somewhat
rare to her, Of witnessing the efforts OF some
other artists / knew her we'll but was not
aware of this organic weakness, and was,
therefore, somewhat perturbed when she spoke
about it and by way Of precaution asked me,
in case she became sick and speechiess, simply
to give her good shaking and she would bs
all right in q moment You may imagine
that the possibility of such an occurrence did
not add materially to my comfort, but, Of
course, the poor girl could not take the
chance OF having such turn when in COM
pany with one who hadn't the remotest idea
what to DO for her, and l couldn't blame her
for guarding against any fatal result; as well
as she could.
II think she must have had premonitlon
of trouble that night, for, s,:-s enough, when
the play was about half over, she attracted
my attention by some slight movement, and
saw at once that the trouble she feared was
upon her. Half terrified cut of my wits,
still had sufficient presence OF mind TO follow
the directions, previously given, and IL q mo-
speak The incident was not observed by the
audience as the box curtains hid Us from
view, and the trouble was over quicker than
it can be described, but l can assure you l
have been thankful thousand times that l
had been advised what 10 DO in that moment
OF terror From that circumstance | have
evolved my own theory in regard to the real
cause Of Miss Nelson's death. 1t was reported
at the time that toe poor dead Juliet had
taken poison, as Shckespeares Juliet was
supposed to have done ages before. To me,
however, it seems probable that tine tired
heart had stopped short, as it had often tried
to do before, and this time 10 one was at
hand who knew her disposition or the danger
that constantly hung over her. don't know
whether any of these statements were ever
printed before or not, but l do know that

Death Of Mrs. surhans.

1t was with feelings of mingled sorrow
and surprise that our people learned on
Tuesday afternoon of the death of Mrs.
Daniel Burhans, in the, 39th year of her
age.
In the morning she was about her house
as usual, though she had a severe fainting
fit during the previous night. Her chill
dren left her for school at the usual nour,
and soon after young girl desiring an
engagement to do housework, accompanied
by a lady friend, called at the house. She
staid few moments and left, and is pre-
sumed 10 have been the last person to see
her alive. Her husband had gone to his
farm to spend the day, taking his dinner
with him. On the return of the son from
school at noon lie found his mother lying
on a bed up stairs dead. We are inform
ed that she had been In poor health for
some time, and that she was never Very
strong woman. and has had serious pain
for more than year from time 10 time,
in the region of the heart, and doubtless
this trouble was the cause of her sudden
death. She leaves a husband and four
children, three sons and daughter, to
mourn the departure of loving wife and
fond and affectionate mother.
The funeral is to be held at the house
this friday afternoon at 8 o'clock. The
sympathies OF the entire community go out
TO the husband and children in their sad
bereavement.
